Nice Build Al, I'm working on an almost identical build myself. I only have 2 parts left to order, the DFI mobo and a mini ITX case. The problem that I have is finding a small case that has decent interior layout, good looks and build quality. What model is the SiverStone case in the first picture?

I built a Q9400 system after reading your last log (Q8200-Mice), I'm looking forward to this one

Glad that I inspired someone.

The build is done. Fortunately, no parts was defective.
The project itself is not fully done though. I need to throw in a SSD in there. I am thinking of Intel MLC 80gb SSD, but I currently lack fund to do that. I will replace my main drive with SSD in few weeks or if my Q8200-Mice sells. Whichever comes first.

Excuse the messy cabling. There is simply no room to work with, but I tell you that it was messier with Q8200-Mice. In this build, I used 6 inch sata cables where I was able to save some space.

Q8200-Mice is now out of commission. I plan to put her on sale in Buy/Sell/Trade/Giveaway Forum soon.

I hear ya. I actually recently bought all kinds of new parts for a i7 920 build, including the giant beautiful corsair 800D case. I might be traveling asia for a year, a couple months in each country I choose. I am kind of stuck between finishing or just selling and buying a laptop. I'm also considering using that new sugo07 case. I could take it with me and it could house a new gpu.
